I beg your pardon if I'm not in thread but I read a story about sharks on fiber
submarine cables. The story was when on start of this technology in blue
lagon's water. Electricity cables are not good for sharks because they never
touch it. But, fiber may interferences or some field that talking good for
sharks. In this fiber cable, when they out of water, there was sharks teeth.
This cable is now with band of steel around it and no more cutting
informations. That's all folk (I hope for my brain/reason)
But, actually I think that no possible getting informations before a switch or
commutator with a sniffer on submarine cable in way to collect informations
before receiver. If it's possible, is just for copy it. but no to switch
request from client on another switch. That could be to late. I suppose. This
material transport is like as a ray and it's just possible to ear it and trace
packets on it. This is a good reason to buy a cable for big compagny and use it
like a electric wire.
I bless you not imagine that I have a personnal cable for my own purpose
and be sure that's without me for the submarine pod, please ;-)
